I played 5 lives

Well i get past the big wall and i died under a rain of little bombs. i dont want to retry because it feels too random and luck about how to get past the wall.

The idea of exploiting glitch is quite innovative and can be fun. In this case however it is not really user friendly. And that's the main reason i did not have a good experience

- the controls are not intuitive, i want to use Space to jump, and E or my right and to interact so i fumble a lot - What are the glitch doing beside changing de color ? i dont know?

Ok i ve read the description of the glitch. No chance you can understand this throught regular play unless you commit a lot but i can't dive deep if it feel too random and clumsy.

Did you find someone to live test the game in front of you without giving him hints ?

@tontonpizza thanks for giving it 5 solid runs, I really appreciate that. The reason those enemies are so hard is because you're supposed to open the "settings" file and "fix" their broken status using the computer (see the image below - you're supposed to click on the NULL box that is highlighted in white) javaw_2018-08-14_09-05-29.png

As far as glitches not being intuitive, I strongly agree and that's something I'll be keeping in mind next time I make something like this.
